Question:
Do you have a smart start unit to use on a 50 amp trailer hooked to a 30 amp pedestal to prevent power spike on start up of high draw things like a/c units

Expert Reply:
Hi Joseph; the 50 amp ActiveStart will work with your trailer when hooked up to 30 amp using an adapter like # A10-3050AVP. We have the # AS54FR which is the soft start and then the # AS34FR which is the soft start with surge protection. Both will keep your appliances safe from undercurrent and undervoltage situations. If you need anything else don't hesitate to reach out below.
